2023-02-03 19:39:40"About two an a half decades ago, this city used to be part of the great 'Freeland'. It went by a different name that the people of today don't use anymore.
The nation of Freeland was a great proponent of 'true freedom' and the leaders tried to rule with laws that were more lax than in other nations. But it didn't turn out well. Not long after it was founded, it became completely lawless and the only rule was survival of the fittest.
It was a very hard time for those with no access to magic. They lived in constant fear and torment, and their standard of living was way below average. They wished fervently for a change and their prayers were answered when people's powers started going off in a part of the country.
The powers of people went off irregulary. It lasted for minutes, hours, or just a few seconds but the 'revengers' risked any opportunity that came their way and struck. This started a long war in the nation.
The revengers armed themselves with weapons of all sorts and went around the affected area killing anyone they believed to use their power wrongly. The 'Metas' didn't just stand back and watch, they figured that the anomaly had a source so they set out to find and destroy it."
"Our mission is to stop the Metas before they find the source. If we do that, we clear the game and find ourselves in the real Dahüd. If we don't... We might die"
"Why are we in a game anyway" Shiro asked
"I mean, how did we even end up here?" Mia added.
"It's a security system" Orie answered
"A high level security system that is designed to trap anyone that anyone that tries to teleport into the city"
"You knew about this system" Shiro said
"Then why did you try to teleport into the city anyway" Mia asked
"It is a system that is only turned on in a serious state of emergency" Orie replied
"I didn't expect the situation to be so severe that they would have to activate the system"
"We need to clear this game fast before things get a whole lot worse" Orie said as he walked around the house and started opening drawers and cabinets and every door he could find while the others followed him.
"You said that the powers go on and off right? Shiro asked
"So we just have to wait for our own to come back?" Mia added
Orie heard them and sniggered a little. Then turned around and said to them "That's not how it works"
"That theory only applies to the NPCs in the game" he said
"As for the players, we're all powerless"
"So if know what is good for you, grab a few weapons and arm yourselves" he said as he tossed a variety of guns and swords at them.
"Because we are about to step into a dangerous place"
"Just one question" Shiro said as they were getting ready.
"How dangerous exactly?" He asked
Then Orie looked at him and said "where we are right now is a hiding place for the Metas"
"And in about five minutes, thier powers are going to come back on"
"Luckily, I've played this game before so if you follow my instructions, you have a little less to worry about"

The lion is here
Ellie watched the match play out with full concentration. The cameras were rolling, the stream was on, but there was no commentary, no intro, just total concentration.Waramaki motioned his hands and the tornado split into four, spinning around the arena randomly but with the ultimate aim of hitting Orie.At this point, Kojiro had expanded the stadium as wide as he could. This was the fourth expansion, the first was at the beginning of the match, the second was when Waramaki placed his elements all over the arena, and the third was when he saw the tornado. As soon as he saw the tornado split he knew exactly where things were going and expanded the stadium to its maximum capacity. He had initially thought that since Orie wasn't the type to throw around huge attacks, there would be no need for maximum expansion but as the match progressed, he realised that Waramaki would be throwing enough for two.A tornado is not something that can be evaded at the last minute, it has a pull and that
Man to man
Those who have seen battle know this feeling. The feeling of having an anticipated moment finally arrive. Nothing can prepare one for such a feeling. No matter how much one prepares, no matter what one plans, no matter what one imagines, when the time comes, one would still be overtaken by that feeling.Orie and Waramaki stared at each other from across the arena and both of them uttered nothing. The stadium was loud and the crowd was roaring but between the two men in the arena, it was very quiet. With focused eyes, they watched each other, monitoring each breath, noticing each drop of sweat that fell from the face of the other."I was wrong to doubt your abilities" waramaki said, breaking the tension"I accept that you are strong and have every right to be a teacher of this school""And as an apology...""... I'll be sure to take you on with everything I have""I would also like to apologise" Orie replied with a bow"I let the hate of many distract me from the true intentions of the

When the ice queen laughs
"well, Mr Addison" Ellie said as the camera faced Orie. "What are your thoughts on the current state of the match?" "I'm really not sure" Orie replied "To be honest, this is the first time I've seen Her like that so I don't actually know what to expect" "But if I had to take a guess..." "... I'd say I'm glad she wasn't like this in our match" Natsumi missed her first strike, and her second, and her third, and her fourth, and... all her strikes, she missed all of it. As it turns out, Kurobe had quite the reflex and was really good at evasion and keeping the distance. Every time Natsumi got close, he quickly evaded and put distance between them, pushing her back, attacking from blind spots, setting walls between them and a Whole lot of moves that prevented him from getting hit but that didn't stop his opponent from trying. With each passing second, Natsumi got closer to landing a hit on Kurobe. At first it was him feeling the little breeze as her fist fle
Cold hard truth
Many things can anger a fighter. An opponent that toys with them, someone that just won't stay down and in many cases, a direct insult. But none of those things were happening to Kurobe, he was facing something far more annoying; an opponent that isn't paying attention to him. At first glance, it looked like Kurobe was dominating the match without giving his opponent any chance to counter, but there were many times since the beginning of the fight where Natsumi would have been able to strike back but did nothing instead. She had barely moved from where she was standing at the start and she was in deep thought. All Natsumi did from the beginning of the match was to fend off the incoming attacks while thinking about what Orie had said to her. "I have finally seen your true self" "I finally know you" She couldn't muster up the courage to ask him what he meant because she was too afraid of his answer. She was afraid of the truth. "If the real me is a monster...
The veil of confidence
"Ellie porter here" "I'm in the stadium with our favorite finalist and we're here to watch the tussle for third place" "The crowd density in the stadium today would make you wonder how it would be in the final" "The place is packed!" "The first fighter we see coming on the arena is a favorite of many" "A one time champion who claimed his only title by beating all the heavyweights in the early matches and since then he has never not made it to the semifinals" "He is a force to be reckoned with" "Anyone that saw his previous fights would know that he is an opponent that even the champions do not take lightly" "I introduce to you" "Someone most of you already know" "The head of the department of geography" "The man who almost won against Fuji Waramaki" "ISHIGAMI KUROBE" "The second person coming up to the arena" "We love her for her beauty, we love her for her strength and we love her because she loves the one we want to win"
